Intro: Gmaj Emin7 Bmin
Gmaj Emin7 Bmin
Note: The acoustic version is just strum it all the way. But for the
recorded version in their album, there is no acoustic only the
electric guitar. So for the electric guitar will strum once at a
time when the chords change.
Verse 1:
Bmin Gmaj Emin7 Bmin7
Oh no, I see,
Fmaj Amin Gmaj
A spider web is tangled up with me,
Emin7 Bmin7
And I lost my head,
Fmaj Amin Gmaj
And thought of all the stupid things I’d said,
Verse 2:
Gmaj Emin7 Bmin7
Oh no, what’s this,
Fmaj Amin Gmaj
A spider web and I’m caught in the middle,
Gmaj Emin7 Bmin7
So I turned to run,
Fmaj Amin Gmaj
And thought of all the stupid things I’ve done,
Note: Again these chords given can be played in acoustic guitar but for
the electric guitar it is A7sus4 all the way using a kind of
plucking or harmonic. Just listen to the song.
Chorus:
Amaj Emin7
Ah, I never meant to cause you trouble,
Amaj Emin7
Ah, I never meant to do you wrong,
Amaj Emin7
Ah, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Amaj Emin7
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm,
Note: For the electric guitar is given in the tabs below. Use a slider.
means slide down or slide to the lower note. / means slide up
or slide to the higher note. ~ means vibrate or shiver your
slider on that note.

Acoustic Guitar: Fmaj Amin Gmaj
And here am I in my little bubble,
Note: Same as the first chorus.
Chorus:
Amaj Emin7
Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble,
Amaj Emin7
I never meant to do you wrong,
Amaj Emin7
Singing out, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Amaj Emin7
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm,
Note: Follow the same timing for all these three parts, electric, bass
& electric guitar. I put up the bass too because it holds the
back of the timing & also the groove for the piano.
There is a ‘~’ in between two bars, which means vibrate on the
fret itself with the slider. Or slowly slide down with one pluck
on that string.
